Homestead 2

Our last night in Florida was in Homestead. Bill and Jill were host and hostess.



Key West 3

This was our last full day in Key West. We thought we might take it easy. Instead we walked everywhere.

I had to add that many of the bikes have
beer holders on the handle bars.

Here and there you find houses made of cypress.

Everywhere we go, we have to visit a cemetery.

The old car just seemed to suit the old home.

This place is called the Octagon House.

Deb found another tree,

Next morning we went to pick our rental car.


Key West 2

The next day we got away from the harbour and explored the Old Town. We loved what we found.

Many people get around by bike

Many of the bikes are customized.

This is the studio where Ernest Hemingway wrote for ten years.
Pauline (one of his wives) locked him in (at his request).

The water trough was once a urinal at Sloppy Joe's Bar

Triple D recommended that Deb have the
Lobster Roll at DJ's Crab Shack.

More Bikes

Just some gold at the Mel Fisher Shipwreck Museum

They say the sunsets are great. They kind of bombed.

Apparently Robert the Doll is haunted, and he is very famous.

Key West 1

The drive to Key West took forever. Who knew that today would be the day for a Miami to Key West relay race. Oops

The Conch Train, the first tourist thing to do.

This is the Customs Building (a museum now).
It is one of the only brick buildings around.

Roosters are protected, They are everywhere.

Cruise boats come in most days.

Bill was our driver - many thanks.

Our first night was in a teeny room, the second in a suite
with a turret bedroom.

Rent a bike, rent a scooter, or rent a golf cart.

The southernmost point in the continental United States

Homestead

Bill and Jill picked us up at the Miami Airport and drove us to their park in Homestead.

Bingo was on the agenda. The pointy thing is a
good luck pig.
Somebody's birthday, so let's celebrate.

The glasses add to the party
atmosphere.
